Abstract
Two new donor/acceptor copolymers PBDTPhBT1 and PBDTPhBT2 with alternating benzodithiophene (BDT) and bisthiophene‐phthalimide (PhBT) units were synthesized by Stille coupling reaction. The copolymers showed identical optical bandgaps of 1.98 eV. The HOMO energy levels are −5.35 and −5.32 eV for PBDTPhBT1 and PBDTPhBT2, respectively. The bulk heterojunction solar cell devices based on these copolymers as donors and PC~71~BM as acceptor displayed high open‐circuit voltages of 0.90–0.93 V and achieved power conversion efficiency of 1.54% under the illumination of AM 1.5, 100 mW · cm^−2^.
